EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern's opening home series of the 2014 season will be played Saturday and Sunday, March 22-23, at The Ballpark at Rosemont in Rosemont, Ill., with modified game times.

Chicago's Big Ten Team will host Wisconsin at the home of National Pro Fastpitch's Chicago Bandits in a 4 p.m. CT game Saturday and a noon CT doubleheader Sunday. The series was originally scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Evanston, but the artificial turf at the Ballpark at Rosemont offers a better surface for play as winter turns to spring.

Northwestern currently is ranked No. 25 in the country after a 15-5 preconference schedule. The exciting Wildcats have one of the nation's top-10 offenses, entering this weekend averaging 7.15 runs per game.
